New iPod touch Gets Apple Peel 520?

The new iPod touch is just like an iPhone 4, without the phone part. It’s thinner than the original, and we are wondering if the Apple Peel 520 supports this new iPod touch. Well, we guess probably not.

I’m so happy to see Apple has put most of the key features of iPhone 4 on the new iPod touch. It has a Retina display, A4 processor, gyroscope, front and back cameras. There’s no phone and 3G functions on it, but we have seen the Apple Peel 520 bringing these features to the original iPod touch. If you are thinking if the Apple Peel supports the new device, we think the manufacturer should do some updates on it first. They need to redesign the Apple Peel case, to make it slimmer and cut a hole on the back for the camera. The openings for the side buttons, speaker, mic and dock connector should be re-adjusted. And here comes the most important part, the software. Since the new iPod touch will be shipped with iOS 4.1, Apple Peel needs a new app to support the latest firmware, and the manufacturer needs to wait for a new jailbreak to allow his app to be installed through cydia on iOS 4.1.

Looking at this, we think the manufacturer of Apple Peel definitely needs to produce another case for the new iPod touch, allowing the device to gain the phone feature. If this works, it will be a totally different story. There will be no reasons for me to buy an iPhone 4, since I could get a similar device with almost all the incredible key features from the new iPhone, for half the price now. We will just sit down and wait for the new Apple Peel to come.
